Neil Diamond News, Pictures, and Videos

Check out the Boston Red Sox paying tribute to Boston’s first responders and those affected by the Boston Marathon tragedy.

Neil Diamond participated in the ceremony by singing “Sweet Caroline,” which has been played at every Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park since 2002.

The Boston Red Sox played against the Kansas City Royals and this game also marked the return of their star player David Ortiz.

“This jersey that we’re wearing today it doesn’t say ‘Red Sox.’ It says, ‘Boston.’ We want to thank you for you, Mayor Menino, Governor Patrick, the whole police department, for the great job that they did this past week,” David shared. “This is our f–king city. And nobody is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong.”
